This is the time of year Old Master addicts like me start to hang around auction house landing pages waiting for glimpes of what is to come in the upcoming London July sales. Amongst the interesting previewed lots at Christie's is this Self Portrait by Jacob Jordaens, which will carry an estimate of £300,000 - £500,000. The entry for the picture on the RKD suggests it was last on the market in the 1960s and has been on permanent loan to Museumslandschaft Hessen Kassel in recent years.
The Sotheby's London landing page shows that they will be offering a signed and dated David and Goliath by Artemisia Gentileschi, presumably the one unveiled by conservator Simon Gillespie in 2020, alongside mentions of works by Clara Peeters (featuring a presumed self portrait), Dirck van Baburen, David de Haen, Vilhelm Hammershøi and Ivan Aivazovsky.
More news as and when it appears.
